Vocabulary at work

Oh boy...what a class we had today on the vocabulary we found at the Gulf News article about cheating at Abu Dhabi University. The words used in that article are words used in everyday English that come with a special meaning which says cheating isn't allowed not only at IAT but on any educational campus. So your assignment is to know the meaning of the words below and their part of speech; be able to use them correctly in sentences and understand their meaning for you the student. For example, plagiarism means much more than 'cut and paste'. When you write a paper for any English teacher you must know how to use your own writing to express a thought of someone's writing.

We also learned two words that deal with English grammar; premeditated and spontaneous. These are words that are used in everyday language as well that may have nothing at all to do with the grammar of present continuous or future tenses. I expect you to know how to use these words correctly when they deal with grammar or when they deal with behavior or actions. Of course we'll talk about them as the week goes on.

Here are the words you are expected to know by the end of the week

expel
expulsion
collusion
collude
fraudulent
plagiarism
red handed (an idiom)
spontaneous
premeditated
coed

As we get deeper into project work I hope you will use some of the supplemental vocabulary words to describe your projects. Can you think of ways to use spontaneous to talk about any of your projects? See you in class!
